Qurum

Qurum

Qurum ("mangrove") lies in the centre of the greater Muscat area, stretching along the coast north of Madinat As Sultan Qaboos and Ruwi. 

Qurum National Park and Nature Reserve- one of the main attractions of this area.  Many people were strolling and enjoying a picnic in the park. 

 

Kids were playing in the playground, and Esheng of course could not resist and persuaded Eewen to go along.

 

 

Now you see me...!!!

Now you dont...!!

 Beautiful Garden

 

We dropped by at the Qurum City Center to go to Carrefour for our groceries and Eewen finally found the Cold Stone ice cream that her friends have been telling her.  The ice cream tasted good and refreshing!

 Getting ready.....to

 

toss the ice cream in the air....!

 

Quite fun to see him do that!!

I love looking at this row of houses just outside the Qurum City Center where the colourful bougainvilla bloomed so beautifully!

 

Later in the evening, we headed down to the Qurum Beach Promenade. Amazing, it seems like the whole population of Muscat heads down to the beach to walk, jog, play football or just to have a paddle like us.
